What is Info?

This file documents GNU Info, a program for viewing the on-line formatted versions of Texinfo files, version 2.11.

Info is a program which is used to view Info files on an ASCII terminal. Info files are the result of processing Texinfo files with the program makeinfo or with one of the Emacs commands, such as M-x texinfo-format-buffer. Texinfo itself is a documentation system that uses a single source file to produce both on-line information and printed output. You can typeset and print the files that you read in Info.
